AS Roma vs Genoa prediction: AS Roma to win 2-0 as model gives 77% chance
Serie A sees AS Roma face Genoa at Olimpico. The model makes AS Roma the favourite, assigning a strong 77% probability of victory. For reference, the full split is AS Roma 77%, draw 17.1%, Genoa 5.9%.
AS Roma have generated 1.94 goals per game (1.48x the league average) and are a miserly defence at 0.73 conceded per game. Genoa average 0.98 scored (0.75x average) and are a steady defence at 1.47 conceded per game. Feeding those attack and defence strengths through a Poisson model, expected goals come out at 2.4 for AS Roma and 0.5 for Genoa.
On the goals markets, the numbers point to an open, higher-scoring game (Over 2.5 at 56%), and a clean sheet for one side is on the cards (both teams to score just 36.4%). The most probable exact scoreline is 2-0, with 2-0, 3-0, 1-0 the leading candidates.
